I'm doing some research about the Republic of Ireland, can anyone tell me where I can find out more about the

Question

Welfare estate there e.g what benefits its citizens are entitled to, how much these would be each month etc, and what the average wages are for manual labourers/unskilled jobs?

Answer 1

are you planning on coming over here to claim  benefits

Answer 2

I traveled to Ireland about ten years ago, things may have changed a bit, when I was there, on a tour, our guide did explaine some of workings of Ireland.  Number one is that there is very little in the way of jobs in Ireland.  Most of the younger population move to the continent to find work.  That is why when you go there most of the Irish can speak more than one language.  Also when a couple gets married the goverment gives them a lump sum of money to start a business.  When you go you will see many, many, many, bed and breakfasts that is because the goverment gave the newlyweds the money just for getting married but if they buy a house with it the house has to become the business.  Also most jobs over there, such as Waterford crystal or Beleek China start as apprentience positons for five years befor you even start to get paid.  OH and on that if you work for Waterford and you are in the production process for the factory and someone, anyone mars a piece that you worked on it gets destroyed and no one gets paid for that piece.  It does not matter if it happens when the glass is blown or when it is being packed to be shipped.  It gets destroyed and you don't get paid.

You should try the Dept. of Social Welfare in Ireland.

They will tell you what Irish people are intitled to. The law has / is changing to make it more difficult for Non Nationals who go to Ireland in the hope of living off the welfare system. In order to qualify you first have to work there now.

In regards to wages for manuel labourers / unskilled workers, you should check out the minimum wage and citizens advice

Also check some of the employment agencies as they will probably be able to give you an idea of what is currently being paid in this sector.
